Tools, Options, Compatibility tab. The option is 'Do Full Justification like
WordPerfect 6.x for Windows'. Press the Default button to make the change
stick.

It works exceptionally well if you also go to Format, Font, Character
Spacing tab and condense the spacing by 0.1 or 0.2 points depending on the
font being used.

: Hi all,
:
: I read this somewhere that there is an option with which

: is this only available to Word 2002??

I read this somewhere that there is an option with which
we can turn on WordPerfect-like justified alignment. With
normal justified alignment you get a huge space between

annoyance.

I am using Word 2000 and cannot find such option anywhere!
is this only available to Word 2002??
